New Twisted Metal Information
via IGN
If you've been checking the official PlayStation blog recently, you may have noticed a post by David Jaffe regarding the upcoming Twisted Metal: Head-on: Extra Twisted Edition. In the post, Jaffe spends a fair amount of time discussing the special features that will be included on the disk, and the list seems quite impressive.
For those of you not yet familiar with the game, Extra Twisted is a port of the PSP title Twisted Metal: Head-on, but now runs at 60 frames per second and features updated textures and art. According to Jaffe, the game also has a new level to play on: the Transylvania Castle. There are also four "lost levels" from the Twisted Metal: Black world that focus on multiplayer deathmatch, and Jaffe stresses the high-quality of their design.

Continuing on, gamers who buy Extra Twisted will receive a code that enables them to download a free copy of the Twisted Metal Symphony album. Jaffe explains that this album is a compilation of songs from previous Twisted Metal games, with some fan favorites included.
Next up on the list is an art book full of concept drawings, some of them dating back to the original Twisted Metal. However, some of the biggest extras on the disc are videos: a 30 minute (and very honest) documentary outlining the history of the Twisted Metal series, and a handful of live-action ending movies Jaffe himself wrote and directed, originally planned for the first Twisted Metal game but never included. Very intriguing indeed.

Finally, gamers can play a new mode: the Sweet Tour. Here, you can take control of Sweet Tooth and run around older levels collecting icons that open up even more extras.
Jaffe ends the post by noting the price of the game: an extremely reasonable $19.99. Sounds like quite an appealing deal. Head over to the PlayStation blog to check out the full post and check back soon as we continue our coverage of Extra Twisted.
